Happy 40th to me. I reflect on the lessons learned. We also talk about those epic fails that took place too. The things we have gotten into that we don't speak on because we want to be appear less flawed than we really are.

The world is in an uproar at least in the comment section about Oprah's newest book that is coming out. She is telling parts of her story that she has been reluctant to share. Apparently she is too rich to STILL have trauma. Which we know that is a whole lie and a half. Trauma doesn't have an expiration-you carry the scars for life. We discuss both sides of the discussion. Also Mendeecees stated t...

Sometimes we get so caught up in the admiration of others who we will are doing better than we are that we don't humble our eyesight. We don't know what someone has been through to get to where they are. We need to find a way to love ourselves a little more. Our condolences to DMX's Family and friends. We said last episode that we would keep him in our prayers and sadly he has passed. Black Lives...

Its been an entire media storm this week. Derrick Jaxn has been living an entire lie. He is a "relationship guru" who has sold a lot of women the story line of what to look forward to when they find the man of their dreams. Yet he is a living and walking nightmare. His wife is a victim. However in her eyes....listen in! Today's Episode is sponsored by The SkinStore. They are offering our listeners...

This week we had to discuss the accountability of when parents go left. Also kids can go left too. Such as the perceived notion of the leaked snippet of Kirk Franklin and his grown son. Can parents push kids grown or not too far? We discuss this as well as accountability of owning yourself. This week I had a personal blow up that was seasoned from childhood silent treatment tactics. Today's sponso...

This has been a year to remember. A year of loss and emotional ups and downs. The hardest part is not being able to see loved ones. Watching my children lose their social skills and being in the house for the betterment of the year. The joys have been there as well. Although a large majority of my extended family had Covid-19 we were safe. Reminding myself of that point daily has been crucial. Thi...

Trigger alert! This notion that elders are incapable of bad vibes or even bad intentions have to be dispelled. Even with that in mind, you can disengage with a parent and not out right disrespect them. You can stand up for yourself and not hit below the belt. We talk about this culture of embarrassing children on social media channels. It's disheartening to say the least. I understand being a pare...

First comes love than marriage, than the baby in the baby carriage or something like that. What happens when the love of your love wants to stop having kids and you may or may not want to? Do you get your tubes tied out of his request or benefit of your health for a man who asked for your hand in marriage but isn't your husband? That man now has had more babies with his new wife because changing o...

Its amazing for those who have a desire to experience motherhood to hold that baby for the first time. Unchecked trauma can creep almost instantly. Having to be told by a child that your delivery is of off putting can be hard to swallow. Parenthood comes with a lot of gut checks and laying the ego down to give a child what they really need Blac Chyna's mom goes on a rampage calling her all kinds o...
